Today, I'm going to show you how I make beaded snowflakes.

First, start with silvertone 28 gauge wire and clear or silver beads.

I do not bother to measure the length of wire that I use. I simply stand a ton onto the spool of wire. For each loop of beads on the snowflake it ranges from 3/4" to 1".

Forming a loop and using beads for a snowflake card craft.

After I decide on the amount of beads, I start to form a loop.

Then, I twist the wire to my desired length.

The next length must be longer. Form another loop.

Twisting more wires for this craft project.

Twist the wire until you get back to the first one. Then, you start the process over.

The loops are creating a snowflake for a craft Christmas card.

Alternate longer and shorter lengths. Now you can see the snowflake coming together.

Alright so now we have a snowflake. Trim the ends so that you have 2 lengths of longer wire left.

Gluing the bead snowflake that was crafted by twisting onto the cardstock card.

In this picture, you can see I stamped Peace onto navy cardstock. Position your snowflake where you want it. Then, using a needle, punch a couple of holes into the cardstock, very close to the center of the snowflake.
